Status Updates From An Embrace of Citrus & Snow...

the longest book ever. flowery and slow. very little action/conflict. i am skimming pages like crazy and the effing thing is still not anywhere near the end.

So far Bo is very unlikable. He is rude (yes, dropping f-bombs several times in a sentence is rude), he is cryptic (because the author refuses to share), and he is quick to judge and push a person who was abused, suffered a horrific event and was let down by his people and family, shame and guilt forced on him for a 100 years.
There are also weird cultural references that not every reader can understand.
